Monkey Flower Villas

Monkey Flower Villas – A Hidden Paradise on Koh Tao Our family of four adults recently stayed at the Bougainvillea Villa at Monkey Flower Villas, and from start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Booking the accommodation was seamless, and finding Steve, our ever-attentive driver, at the wharf was easy—he made us feel welcome right from our first encounter. We were also fortunate to meet Lincoln, the owner, who greeted us with such genuine excitement about sharing his dream with us. Upon arrival, the amenities and views exceeded our expectations. We were all impressed with how the villa was built into the natural surroundings of the mountain—the large boulders featured in the bedrooms and bathroom added a unique charm that truly made the space feel special. The villa had everything we needed for our stay on this beautiful island. The rooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. While both rooms had TVs, we didn’t find the need to use them. My son stayed in the loft and loved the ambiance and personal space it provided. The bathroom was generously sized and featured a great shower. The kitchen was well-stocked with cutlery, crockery, tea, coffee, a microwave, and a fridge pre-filled with water, beer, and soft drink (soda) to get us through the first night. There were also menus for local restaurants—we tried one for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside in the garden to eat. The pool was an absolute dream, offering a view to die for. Whether it was an early morning swim or a late-night dip, the fact that there was no curfew—as there often is in other accommodations—was a real treat. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable throughout our stay. The team behind Monkey Flower Villas was highly professional. The rooms were always spotless, and the gardens beautifully maintained. Mo was fantastic with suggestions for our island adventures, but the highlight of our stay was undoubtedly Steve, our driver. Available day or night, he transported us wherever we needed to go, always with a smile. His knowledge of the island, its history, and his charming, funny, and respectful nature made him an unforgettable part of our holiday. We’ve already started planning a return to Monkey Flower Villas and Koh Tao, as we know there’s more to explore—and there’s simply no other place we’d want to stay than this little slice of paradise.
